Kubo pulled the whole broken bankai thing out of his ass

I don't care whether you like bleach or not, but to any decently intelligent person I think it's pretty obvious that Kubo never originally intended for that concept and that he almost certainly came up with that recently.

Byakuya's bankai was shattered during his fight with Ichigo, but It still managed to come back, are people not going to call Kubo out for this shit?

Re: Kubo pulled the whole broken bankai thing out of his ass

Byakuya's bankai is made of many tiny blades. Technically it can not break. One of the many blades can be destroyed but he will still have millions more. The same thing wityh renji's bankai that has multiple parts so even if one is detroyed many peices remain. He probably did pull this out of his *ss but he still has a not contridicted any past manga.

Although it's out of the blue, I'm actually excited. Mayuri said "A broken Bankai never goes back to how it was". When Ichigo's bankai is fixed (lets be honest it will be fixed), he might have a different form of GT or he'll just ditch GT altogether and get a new bankai power. Change is good.

Re: Kubo pulled the whole broken bankai thing out of his ass

It amuses me people would make such threads this early on in the arc as well. There's still a shitload of explaining to come - makes you wonder what kind of "plotholes" they'd try to find then.

Though, Kubo is not entirely blameless. He did pretty much build up his reputation as Troll Mangaka after the whole ordeal with Aizen. It doesn't surprise me people would still think of him as one, though I'm sure his image will be fixed if he keeps up the good work...

Byakuya's bankai was not shattered, it was deflected (eg like two blades hitting eachother, senbonsakura is just ~1,000,000 blades)

I do agree completely, however, that the concept was an ass pull. A better example would be Renji's bankai, no difference whatsoever when he fought in SS vs HM

It broke while he was fighting Tensa Zangetsu, Kubo can technically get away with seeing as that was within Ichigo's mind

“Foolishness is more thanbeing stupid, that deadlycombination of arrogance andignorance.”

He needs to be in Bankai before using it, so technically it's his bankai.

Shūkei: Hakuteiken (終景: 白帝剣, "Endscape: White Emperor Sword"; Viz: "Last Sight: White Emperor Sword"): This condenses each and every single one of his blades into a single, potent sword, drastically increasing its cutting power.
